Highlights

  • The upcoming PS5 system software beta will test new features.
  • Remote Play settings for individual users and adaptive charging for first-party controllers are included in the beta.

As a long-time PlayStation gamer, I’m always excited to hear about new features coming to my beloved console. The recent announcement of the upcoming PS5 system software beta has got me buzzing with anticipation. Having participated in previous beta programs for Sony, I know firsthand the unique experience that comes with being an early tester.


Sony has announced that a new beta version of the PlayStation 5’s system software will be released soon, introducing fresh features for players to look forward to in the upcoming major firmware update. This announcement follows closely after the PS5’s July 2024 firmware update became available on July 23.

I was thrilled when Sony announced the PS5 beta program back in 2021, giving me the opportunity to test out new firmware features before they’re released and help identify any bugs or issues for the developers. The program is currently open to users in the US, Canada, Japan, UK, Germany, and France. As more people get their hands on a PS5, Sony may expand this initiative to include other regions as well.

Starting July 25, Sony is distributing the next PS5 system software beta to selected regions. Beta testers will receive invitations and have the opportunity to experiment with new features over several months. One of these innovations includes customized 3D audio profiles for headphones and earbuds. By analyzing various sound quality factors through testing, users can create a personalized profile that enhances their gaming experience with improved and more engaging soundscapes.
